TIME FOR CAKE

Hi Everyone

Happy Thursday!

I hope you are all doing well.  

Life is still super busy at this end .. .. but happy because Mum is improving day by day.  She is getting much stronger and after us worrying about her food intake she is now eating like a horse!!  (not out of a nose bag .. .. we give her a plate with a knife and fork LOL!!).

Yesterday my Sister in Law kindly spent the day with Mum and sorted her meals out so I could have a day catching up with some of my orders .. .. it seemed like ages since I had been able to spend a whole day in my craft pod.

This is one my creations of the day and I am taking this over to the Penny Black Saturday Challenge where the theme is "Anything Goes" and the option of "Spring Flowers".  My flowers are only part of the backing paper so not sure if that counts or not .. .. but hey .. .. I am just happy to have made a card with one of my Penny Black stamps and to have found time to enter it into the challenge.




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "4320H" Prize Cupcake
Sentiment:  Digistamp Boutique Clear Stamp "Time for Cake"
Backing Papers:  First Edition Paper "Sweet Nothings (loving this pad very much)
Spellbinders Nestabilities Dies:  Classic Circle and Scalloped Circle
ProMarkers
Glamour Dust
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Tiny flat backed pearls from my crafty stash box

and that is me for today!

Catch you again soon.

    Really lovely card, gorgeous colour combination and a super image.
    Mum must certainly be getting better if she is eating well.
